[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son got 99% on the COGAT but we weren't offered anything (and never have been).  I'm assuming this is because he's 2e (he's also [b]dyslexic[/b]) and no one knows how to deal with that in Arlington.  I've given up on asking about any gifted services for him, as it never goes anywhere and, regardless, is far from our biggest issue.[/quote]

have you tried special ed? can't imagine they couldn't be helpful[/quote]
If in your budget you should consider a local private.  Many are wonderful with 2e kiddos.  Also keep in mind that many kids with SN test artifically high on COGAT because they cannot get through enough of the test to show the full result.  That may be why APS is not contacting you to provide services.  That's not to say your kid is not smart, just that there may not be what is though to be a good assessment of that just yet.  If the SN are of the type that you can develop "out of them," try testing again after that point and see what happens.  Of course, in our similar experience, GT is not the best in APS anyway, which is why I mention private.[/quote]

Maybe I'm misreading your post, but what do you mean when you say SN kids test artificially high because they can't get through enough of the test?   I thought they would test artificially low for not getting through the test because unanswered questions are marked incorrect.[/quote]
